Sharper runs the risk of us drafting another Safety, since we aren't sure he'll be back. Not to mention other teams in need of safety help may find it in the draft, leaving him few contending teams interested.

I noticed that Loomis indicated that they could fill any needs in the draft (minus kicker / punter) including and pointing out the safety position in the case Sharper hadn't signed yet.

Yeah, Loomis is putting that pressure and reality check out there. I think it indicates that Loomis really does want him back and its almost like his pleading with him publicly.... Like "Don't make me do this".

All said Sharper'esque safeties come along only once every few years [sigh]

If I were Sharper I wouldn't let the offer go to the draft without being signed. We will draft a safety in the draft as insurance if Sharper isn't signed then if he doesn't get any other offers which is highly likely then he'll be poo poo out of luck

On another note though.... what the heck is Loomis doing posting his business on Twitter? That's just a little weird. Is he the only GM posting his thoughts on contracts? Of course we like to know the status, we like to read it, the media is pressing for gossips sakes... but Loomis seems very tight lipped / all business. It just seems bizarre that he's taking his game to twitter.
